Important Safety Information
Read the complete Instruction Manual before proceeding with
installation or operation. Failure to follow instructions may result
in damage to the scorpION3 system or user supplied power
sources.
When this unit is supplied with the AC adapter, the adapter must
be used with a 3-prong grounding plug. The adapter must be
connected to a properly wired and grounded receptacle. Do not
defeat the electrical ground. Grounding and proper wiring are
required for operation.
User supplied 24 VDC power must conform to the electrical
characteristics as outlined in this document. Incorrect power
connections to the bar can result in damage to the scorpION3
bar and/or to user power supply.
User connections to the fault output must conform to the limita-
tions outlined for the opto-isolated transistor. Incorrect connec-
tions to the fault interface can result in damage to the
scorpION3 bar.
Interconnection between bars should be made only with Simco-
Ion supplied interconnect wiring.
A factory-qualified service technician must perform component
service and repairs.
Carefully read the following safety information before
installing or operating the equipment. Failure to follow
these safety warnings could result in damage to your
ionization system and/or voiding the product warranty.

Informations de Sécurité Importantes
Lecture complète du Manuel d'utilisation avant de procéder à
l'installation ou au fonctionnement. Le non-respect de ces
instructions peut entraîner des dommages au scorpion3
système ou utilisateur fourni sources d'alimentation.
Quand cette unité est fourni avec l'adaptateur secteur, la carte
doit être utilisée avec un 3-broches fiche de mise à la terre. La
carte doit être connectée à un correctement câblé et mis à la
terre prise. Ne pas défaire la mise à la terre électrique. La mise
à la terre et le câblage correct sont requis pour l'opération.
Utilisateur fourni alimentation 24 VCC doit être conforme aux
caractéristiques électriques tel que décrit dans le présent docu-
ment. Mauvaise connexion de l'alimentation de la barre peut
entraîner des dommages au scorpion3 bar et/ou à l'utilisateur
d'alimentation.
Connexions de l'utilisateur à la sortie de panne doivent être
conformes aux limites décrites pour l'opto-isolées le transistor.
Connexions incorrectes pour le défaut interface peut entraîner
des dommages au scorpion3 bar.
L'interconnexion entre les barres doivent être effectuées
uniquement avec Simco-Ion fourni câblage d'interconnexion.
N'insérez pas d'objets dans l'unité de grilles d'entrée ou de
sortie en cours de fonctionnement. Dommage pour l'ioniseur et/
ou peut entraîner des blessures graves.
Lisez attentivement les consignes de sécurité
suivantes avant d'installer ou d'utiliser l'équipement. Le
non-respect de ces avertissements peut entraîner des
dommages à votre système d'ionisation et/ou d'annuler
la garantie du produit.

1.1 scorpION3 Ionizing Bar System
The scorpION3 bar system is an ionization solution for work areas
and OEM mini-environments. Intended for cleanroom applications,
the bar is available with tungsten or single crystal silicon emitter
points for the cleanest ionization available. scorpION3’s flexible
design allows independent or dependent operation of multiple bars
in a system. 24 VDC operation allows easy installation in OEM
semiconductor and wafer processing tools. Set-up and adjustment
is easy with the two-way communication provided by the scorpION3
MMI man machine interface or CI computer interface. The
computer interface also offers real-time monitoring of scorpION3
system performance.
The scorpION3 bar utilizes Simco-Ion’s innovative and effective
microcontroller intelligent ionization technology. The system
provides rapid neutralization of static charges over a localized work
area or a mini environment. It is the most flexible and efficient
system available, capable of eliminating electrostatic discharge
(ESD) and preventing electrostatic attraction (ESA) of particles to
surfaces. The scorpION3’s design allows multiple bars to be
connected together into a system that operates synchronously
without the added expense and installation of a dedicated
controller, adding cost effectiveness to its features.
The scorpION3 bar incorporates integrated total communication
capability. This allows one bar to operate as both an ionization
source and as a controller for additional scorpION3 bars. The
scorpION3 is designed to monitor and maintain critical operating
parameters through the use of its microcontroller, active self-
monitoring, and automatic system correction.
scorpION3 5200969 Rev 4 3
A scorpION3 bar may be designated as a master; it will then talk to
the other bars connected to it via integrated RS-485
communication. The master maintains contact with each bar to
synchronize system operations. Individual bars connected in a
system monitor and store their own operating parameters. If a
problem should occur, each bar has the capability to visually
indicate a fault condition and also provide an output that can be
integrated into system control hardware.
Adjustment of ion output and balance can be made to individual
scorpION3 bars via the hand-held MMI module (Man Machine
Interface) which features two-way communication with the bars via
wireless infrared or hardwired RS-485 on a modular cable.
Individual bar addressing ensures adjustment of only the desired
bar. Operating mode and pulse frequency are adjusted at the
individual bar or the master bar depending upon configuration.
The scorpION3 CI (Computer Interface) provides an interface
between the scorpION3 bar system and a personal computer or
local computer network. With Simco-Ion’s interface software, a
user may set-up, monitor or control the scorpION3 bar system from
their computer. The scorpION3 CI provides for communication via
an Ethernet connection.
